..In contrast, negative substitute words did not aid forgetting by the control participants. These findings suggest that training depressed individuals to use cognitive strategies can increase forgetting of negative words...

Sadder and less accurate? False memory for negative material in depression

..These results indicate that in children and adolescents, s-allele carriers can be distinguished from l-allele homozygotes on the basis of hypervigilant behavioral and neural processing of negative material...

Affective and physiological responses to stress in girls at elevated risk for depression

..Future research is needed to examine explicitly whether this coherence between affect and physiology is a mechanism underlying the increased risk for psychopathology in children of depressed parents...

Coherence and specificity of information-processing biases in depression and social phobia

..These results demonstrate that implicit cognitive biases can be trained and that this training affects self-esteem. Implications of these findings for research on psychopathology and emotion regulation are discussed...

Is this happiness I see? Biases in the identification of emotional facial expressions in depression and social phobia

..Depressed and non-depressed participants did not differ in their matching of neutral words. These findings add to a growing literature indicating that depression is characterised by difficulties in the processing of positive stimuli...

..No group differences were obtained when we presented letters instead of emotional words. These findings indicate that depression is associated with difficulty in removing irrelevant negative material from short-term memory...

Components of interference control predict depressive symptoms and rumination cross-sectionally and at six months follow-up

..The SAD participants exhibited a different pattern of amygdala activation in response to neutral faces than did the CTL participants, suggesting a neural basis for the biased processing of ambiguous social information in SAD individuals...

..BDNF interacted with Risk such that Risk predicted greater likelihood of MDD among met carriers and did not influence val/val carriers. These two interactions were additive: both were significant in a combined model...

Remembering the good, forgetting the bad: intentional forgetting of emotional material in depression

..These results indicate that training depressed individuals in intentional forgetting could prove to be an effective strategy to counteract automatic ruminative tendencies and mood-congruent biases...

Judging the intensity of facial expressions of emotion: depression-related biases in the processing of positive affect

..Impulsivity is elevated among people diagnosed with bipolar disorder, and recent evidence suggests that impulsivity can predict onset among those at risk for the disorder. Impulsivity, though, is a broad construct...

Major depressive disorder and impulsive reactivity to emotion: toward a dual-process view of depression

..Dual-process theories of behaviour have been used to suggest that vulnerability to depression involves elevated reactivity to emotions. This study tests that idea, examining self-reported reactivity...

Neural processing of reward and loss in girls at risk for major depression

..Deficits in reward processing and their neural correlates have been associated with major depression. However, it is unclear if these deficits precede the onset of depression or are a consequence of this disorder...

Stress reactivity in social anxiety disorder with and without comorbid depression

..Results suggest that exercise can serve as a protective factor in the face of exposure to repeated emotional stressors, particularly concerning NA in individuals who have recovered from depression...

Neural temporal dynamics of stress in comorbid major depressive disorder and social anxiety disorder

..These data are the first to show an association between COMT and social functioning in children. Future research might profitably examine emotion regulation as a mediator between COMT and social acceptance...

..Information-processing biases related to memory and attention likely play a role in the development and persistence of BD among adolescents; however, these biases have not been extensively studied in youth with BD...

Attention and memory biases in the offspring of parents with bipolar disorder: indications from a pilot study
